Anyone have an old iPod?

Does anyone know if the SANSA CLIP will be compatible. I called Honda and no one knows nor do they have a list of what players are compatible.

As I read in the spec around, the Sansa Clip present itself as a Mass Storage Class device, so it will work as any USB thumb drive. That is no support for playlist (that's just for the iPod), but you will be able to access the music in it, browsing for artists, folders, etc.

You can make yourself a playlist on your computer and store the songs in a folder on your USB. then navigate to that folder. Nice work around.

I bought a 160 GB Classic mostly because of the USB port in our Insight.

It works really great but the HUGE bother is that you can't scroll backwards from A directly to Z. you have to scroll through ABCDE... to get to the end of the alphabet. not a fault of the car, a fault of the Ipod.


My four year old son LOVES Weezer. To get to Weezer I have to scroll through a LOT of other artists first - and I only have about 3/4 of my collection uploaded to my IPod so far.

It's super distracting to scroll through while driving. I gave up on trying to get my ancient iPod to work, and I now have an old 4 gig iPod nano (1st gen) that I just leave in the car set to shuffle. I just put the best songs from my music library on there so I'm guaranteed to like whatever comes on

Mine looks like this (2nd gen I guess) and it works just fine..



I did also try 1Gig thumbdrive, 20Gig external hd and all work well

Here's the list of compatible models from the manual:
iPod Classic 5th Gen. (2005 or later)
iPod Classic (2007 or later)
iPod nano
iPod nano 2nd generation
iPod nano 3rd generation
iPod touch
iPhone

I have the latest generation nano; it works great!
